| Apr 5 12:32:36 | Beavers Inc. | ♥ 1 | Short tutorial while author is still asleep ( :P ): 1. Place a beaver on a tile with trees on it to gain sticks 2. Place sticks on a tile to build dams that are impassable for the river 3. Your goal is to prevent the river from flooding the circular thing (nest?) in the bottom right side by redirecting the river elsewhere | |
| Apr 5 13:32:53 | 1h 00m | Lockdown | ♥ 3 | Pretty neat for a game made with a few hours to spare :D |
| Apr 5 14:31:51 | 58m 58s | A Card Game | ♥ 1 | Wow. This was really atmospheric and metaphorical. I got the puppy ending but- yes, let's not talk about how I got the card ;_; I loved the flood of new cards at the end. Feels like a really interesting metaphor for psychological/mental struggles. |
| Apr 5 15:09:58 | 38m 07s | Final Forest | ♥ 1 | Such a cute little tower defense game. Fits the theme perfectly, graphics and music are great and balance and gameplay seem really good too. I lasted ten waves before the game froze on me (it lagged a bit each wave spawn so I'm not sure if that was on my end or the game not being optimised) |
| Apr 5 15:19:06 | 9m 08s | Taxed to Death | ♥ 0 | Same issue as kemp, looped on the intro scene. |
| Apr 5 15:26:56 | 7m 50s | DIZT | ♥ 1 | I really like the graphics and mood. Gameplay is really hard though haha |
| Apr 5 15:33:45 | 6m 49s | Avagiance | ♥ 1 | I can't really figure out the gameplay (might just be me, I'm not good at this type of game) but I appreciate the premise and the art style a lot! |
| Apr 5 15:40:18 | 6m 33s | Darkness is inevitable | ♥ 0 | You have a really interesting concept here. It's a bit simplistic right now but I'd love to see this polished - a bit more structure and it could be a fantastic horror experience. Main complaint right now is that the logs are pretty hard to see (I realise this is intentional to an extent, but the balance is just a bit off for me) The shadow monster is very spooky, I love it |
| Apr 5 16:20:42 | 40m 24s | Word Wizard | ♥ 1 | I cannot seem to be able to run this from Windows 7, but the art style is so expressive! Love it and the idea of a typing game |
| Apr 5 17:08:21 | 47m 39s | Dungeon Dummies | ♥ 4 | Fantastic, incredibly polished little game. I got stuck on level 7 but I appreciate that you can skip levels... Graphics and music are cute and fit the style an I really like the little humourous touches, like the animations or the fighter pacing back and forth at the exit :D |
| Apr 5 18:30:30 | 1h 22m | Off with the show! | ♥ 1 | Nice music and visuals, bit lost on how to combine things though |
| Apr 5 18:58:16 | 27m 46s | Loop | ♥ 2 | OH BOY. You have an incredible concept here. I absolutely love the idea of a platformer where you paint your own platforms, incredibly satisfying to do. Graphics and sound are incredible as well, the background city is gorgeous. I think if you polish this further you have the makings of an incredibly innovative platformer here. Criticisms/post-jam polish wishlist: - Giant boulders falling from above are too hard to dodge (at east without 'pausing' using Space every second, but then the platformer section doesn't flow very well), I suggest either getting rid of them or zooming out so they're easier to see coming - Currently, music stops when you hit space to paint, which is a shame and a bit jarring. I suggest making the music muffled or something instead - It took me a bit to get used to Space being something other than jump, oops... Maybe an alternate keymapping? - Add collectibles (perhaps that you get snippets of story with) so you have something to do while trying to avoid death. At one point I finally learned how to survive but I let myself die so I could move on with the plot - Bug: Sometimes the paintbrush would stop responding until I reloaded the browser window Great job again! |
| Apr 5 19:26:54 | 28m 38s | Tax Haven | ♥ 1 | Fun concept :D Soundtrack and visuals are charming too |
| Apr 6 17:52:55 | 22h 26m | =< 1001 Nights | ♥ 2 | Fantastic little game. Great take on the theme, and the Sultan's responses feel organic and the gameplay really conveys the time pressure of having to improvise a story on the spot. Music and graphics are up to snuff too! |
| Apr 7 00:46:50 | 6h 53m | Message in a Bottle | ♥ 1 | Unfortunately I couldn't get quite it to run at a decent FPS on my potato PC, but I appreciate the idea a lot! I love the concept. Seconding the request for less demanding graphics settings. |
| Apr 7 14:52:43 | 14h 05m | Populus Romanus | ♥ 1 | Pleasant, pretty polished little game. I greatly enjoyed the idea of a city builder with a balancing act like this. Artwork is really nice too! As an artist, I can appreciate when someone can make assets that are simple but still look good. Post-Jam polish wishlist: - Group-specific "you died because they were too happy" and "you died because they were too unhappy" end screen messages - The houses of the different groups being more visually distinct at a glance - Number indicator for the approval next to the approval bar - Little icon representing the group next to the +/- indicators, for easier overview of whose favour you're gaining or losing |
| Apr 7 17:25:33 | 2h 32m | Over the Rainbow Bridge | ♥ 1 | Not an ambitious game, but still made me tear up in the span of two minutes. |
| Apr 7 17:59:39 | 34m 06s | Pyre | ♥ 1 | Wow, that was intense and emotional. Thank you. Music was particularly gorgeous. |
| Apr 7 18:26:12 | 26m 33s | Penguin Rituals | ♥ 2 | Went to the first orb to the north (ravine dive), couldn't seem to be able to touch/interact with it? I love that you made a game with penguins though, it's so cute |
| Apr 7 18:38:44 | 12m 32s | Defending Hope | ♥ 1 | Love the music! Surprised you didn't opt into the Audio category. |
| Apr 7 18:48:12 | 9m 28s | The Scraps of Victory | ♥ 1 | Haha, so cute! |
| Apr 7 23:48:06 | 4h 59m | Hearts Ablaze | ♥ 0 | Not my usual type of game, but really fun! HP and ammo being one and the same is certainly an innovative touch that I don't think I've ever seen before. Graphics and sound were awesome too. |
| Apr 8 15:19:25 | 15h 31m | Star Keeper | ♥ 2 | Love the concept for this, graphics and music and mood were all very solid too. Gameplay was a bit wonky (fiddling with the pipe took ages) but I still enjoyed it. I was hoping someone would tackle more space and galactic themes for this LD. I also got Zork vibes from the first location and the art style, which is always welcome. :) Молодцы, ребята. |
| Apr 8 15:39:05 | 19m 40s | Cat in the Bag | ♥ 3 | I seem to keep running into the blanked out text bug after the third encounter no matter what I do - also, the narration suggests new items should be appearing in the bag to replace the used ones, but their spaces in the inventory remained empty. That aside, I LOVE the concept, humour, music and art style. Top marks for sure. Would love to see this expanded further and I'll be checking back for a bugfixed version ^^ |
| Apr 8 15:49:18 | 10m 13s | Sakura Shrine | ♥ 2 | Gorgeous graphics and music! You made some really nice scenes and an interesting concept here. |
| Apr 9 01:25:26 | 9h 36m | Settlers & Prophecies | ♥ 1 | This was a really engaging little city builder! Very strong atmosphere, unique music, and I love the watercolour vibes of the artwork. Took me around five attempts to win but I felt like I had to keep trying. Gameplay was incredibly intuitive, too. Really nice! settlers_and_prophecies.png |
